Friend, who made has his club debut off the interchange bench in the Jetstar Titans' inaugural clash against the St George Illawarra Dragons on March 18, 2007, has played the majority of his 134 total NRL appearances in Jetstar Titans colours after previous stints with Brisbane (2002) and Melbourne (2003-06).

Fittingly, Friend will lead the team out against the Roosters on Saturday night.
